Can someone tell me; I'm listening to the podcast of episode 62. I find myself mildly confused by the lack of video accompaniment. Is that just how a podcast works? I can understand why it would...I guess...

Welcome to the forum. There are some video podcasts out there but Steve hasn't done that yet. Like everyone else says, you can usually do something else while listening.

If you listen to This Week in Tech, Leo is calling them "netcasts" now, because Apple is getting very weary if the misuse of it's copyright "Pod." They forced podcasts with Pod somewhere in their name to change them and things like that, and Leo is trying to start a movement to break away from Apple. Not many people are taking up the new name, but he still says calls them netcasts, and with his huge listener base, if Apple did make a move, I think a lot of people would be quick to switch to netcast. That, and people who refer to them as podcasts give the idea that you need an iPod to listen to them, which makes people without iPods think they need one to listen to them.

I hardly ever listen to podcast, but when ever I do I usally come here and read post. I wouldn't recremind doing it, I allways get the words messed up. I started hearing Gaming Steve talk about how Spore was going to have Cavemen banished in the desert by the new totem god feature spore will have.
